Mike Perry will fight Donald Cerrone in honor of Native Americans.

UFC welterweight Mike Perry will have a fight on his hands this November.

Perry will go one-on-one with Cerrone in the main event of UFC Fight Night 139 from the Pepsi Center on November 10th. Cerrone, of course, goes by the nickname, “Cowboy,” which has apparently made Perry assume he’s the enemy of the Native American community.

“Platinum” recently took to Twitter to post an odd video in tribute to Native Americans. He dressed in Native American attire and came out of a smokey Octagon. Perry then vowed to tirelessly hunt down Cerrone “for his crimes of defamation.”

He even had a wanted poster with Cerrone on it and threw a tomahawk and shot an arrow at it.

Check it out here:

“I support the legendary Native American warriors and I am tirelessly hunting this @cowboycerrone for his crimes of defamation ! I will catch him across state lines in Denver Colorado, November 10th for alll the people of the world to see the battle between ” vs “

The issues between Perry and Cerrone are anything but comical. Cerrone decided to leave his longtime Jackson-Wink camp upon Perry’s arrival to the team.

Perry was allegedly given preferential treatment, not to mention Cerrone has his own issues with Mike Winkeljohn. Their clash inside the Octagon will certainly be an interesting, and perhaps even an emotional affair.

As for Perry’s ‘tribute’ to the Native Americans, well, that was just strange.

Diego Sanchez Says ‘Cowboy’ Fight Is ‘Big Possibility’ For This Year

This would be an epic brawl!

The post Diego Sanchez Says ‘Cowboy’ Fight Is ‘Big Possibility’ For This Year appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Longtime UFC veteran Diego Sanchez may have a fight this weekend at UFC 228, but that’s not the only thing dominating his mind at the moment.

Recently, some in-house beef has ensued at Sanchez’s longtime gym, Jackson-Wink MMA. Fellow Jackson-Wink veteran Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone took to Joe Rogan’s podcast to voice his grievances with the team.

Most of the issues came after the gym welcomed in “Platinum” Mike Perry, who will be fighting “Cowboy” in November. Cerrone unloaded on gym co-owner Mike Winkeljohn for apparently being more money-driven above all else.

Sanchez was irked by Cerrone’s remarks, but the most unsettling thing to Sanchez was “Cowboy’s” accusations towards wrestling coach Chad Smith. Cerrone suggested Smith sold ******** to teenagers before joining the team.

After hearing these comments, Sanchez would love to get into the cage with “Cowboy” to defend his gym’s honor, and believes it can happen before the end of the year (quotes via MMA Junkie):

“It hurt to see ‘Cowboy’ trashing these guys that work so hard, and they put in the time in the sport,” Sanchez said.

“Gyms go through ups, gyms go through downs. It is a business. It’s about money. Winkeljohn has $40,000 a month he pays on overhead on our facility.

“So, there are decisions that have to be made. I was just more emotional because ‘Cowboy’ trash talked a really good man, my wrestling coach Chad Smith. He’s a really good dude.

“He never sold no ******** to no kids. And he’s lucky – ‘Cowboy’ is lucky that Chad is such a good dude, or else he would be suing him for defamation of character right now.”

Sanchez will take on Craig White at UFC 228 in Dallas, Texas this weekend (Sat. September 8, 2018). The fight will headline the UFC Fight Pass exclusive preliminary card, which will run five fights-long.

Mike Perry Claims ‘Cowboy’ Tried To Prevent His Jackson-Wink Move

It looks like “Cowboy” never wanted “Platinum” at Jackson-Wink.

The post Mike Perry Claims ‘Cowboy’ Tried To Prevent His Jackson-Wink Move appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Mike Perry claims that his Jackson-Wink MMA teammate Donald Cerrone tried to prevent him from joining the gym.

Perry and “Cowboy” will meet at UFC Fight Night 139 on November 10th. The action goes down inside the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. Not only will it be teammate vs. teammate in Denver, but it will also be coach vs. coach.

“Platinum” tells BJ Penn Radio that Greg Jackson will be in Cerrone’s corner, while Mike Winkeljohn is in his (quotes via MMA Mania):

“Greg Jackson’s gonna be in his corner. I’ll have [Mike] Winkeljohn and coach Frank and I believe my coach from Florida, Julian Williams. And…he (Cerrone) doesn’t come in this gym,” Perry said.

Perry says Cerrone hasn’t been at the gym much since his arrival. He believes “Cowboy” will be talking trash about the team during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast:

“He did last time I was here…like twice the whole two months I was here, twice. And ya know, he stays at his ranch and works out there.

“But now, I guess he’s going on [the] Joe Rogan [Experience podcast] tomorrow and he might say some things about the gym and Winkeljohn…try to talk some trash,” he added.

Perry speculates that Cerrone could be gearing up for a move back to Denver full-time. He believes “Cowboy” is looking for an excuse to move because people aren’t “kissing his ***” anymore at Jackson-Wink:

“I think he’s movin’ back to Denver. And like, none of this going on is the reason why. Like, he was just looking for a reason to act like it was something to push him to move over there.

“I don’t know him that well, but that’s the way it sounds to me. If he’s goin’ to Denver now, cause he’s wanted to for some time…and he’s goin’ ahead and making that move because he ain’t got a bunch of people kissing his *** over here no more.”

He also revealed that he heard a rumor that Cerrone physically went to the gym and tried to prevent Perry from moving to Jackson-Wink:

“I haven’t seen it first hand (the tension brewing). But I heard that he physically came here and asked them not to train me.

“For them not to allow me to come into the gym and to show him some respect even though…he hasn’t done anything for this gym in quite some time.”

Donald Cerrone Hints At Possible Return To Lightweight

“Cowboy” is thinking of a move back to lightweight…Good idea?

The post Donald Cerrone Hints At Possible Return To Lightweight appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone has reinvented himself several times throughout his UFC career.

Starting out as a lightweight, Cerrone amassed a respectable record and ended up earning a title shot. After losing that title shot against then-champion Rafael dos Anjos, “Cowboy” moved up to welterweight and showed great promise early on.

The former lightweight was knocking out solid welterweights left and right, from Matt Brown to Patrick Cote, until losses began to pile up. Stoppage losses to Jorge Masvidal and Darren Till pushed his welterweight title aspirations further and further away.

After another deflating loss at 170 pounds to Leon Edwards last weekend, Cerrone is hinting at a move back to lightweight:

Cerrone spent the majority of his career at lightweight and was never a big welterweight. “Cowboy” still showed signs of competitiveness in his first-round TKO over Yancy Medeiros prior to the Edwards loss.

Is a move to lightweight the right decision for “Cowboy” at this stage in his career?
